Thanks StarScream.
To confirm the news by dexter78 i called two honda dealers - sundaramhonda in chennai and Dakshin Honda in bangalore. Both confirmed that the diesel Honda is coming in december/jan. But both said there wont be any diesel automatic. But what troubles me is that whether there will be any facelift along with the city IDTEC roll out. I wish some bhpian gets a spy shot of the upcoming city.

To answer your question the new City will be a full model change and not a facelift. No spy pics yet but Dexter78 did say it's more aggressive looking than the current car.

The current gen City has completed five years this month ; was launched in September 2008 and now its September 2013 and there is no concrete sign of a complete revamp as such. But I expect a new car at least by the AutoExpo next year. Honda normally replaces its models in 5-6 years.

Guys my brother has booked a CITY SAT this week and wants to know if theres an upgrade in the cards again? Something like 2013 end? I told him the next upgrade would be in 2014/15 along with the IDTEC. If you have any news on any interim upgrade please share.

All new city is coming in Jan 2014 and its looks are similar to accord from the rear and car looks much more aggressive and beautifull than the current favourite verna

Thanks @namit @bluevolt @dipen for the info.
My neighbor works in a Honda service center and he confirmed that Honda has stopped City production from september. But the reason cited was increasing amaze petrol demand (which is a disguise for controlling the city upgrade news from spreading i guess).

We have both City ivtec and Verna fluidic at home. City is any day a better car and i wish it all success in its diesel avatar. BTW we have cancelled the booking for AT. Thanks to all bhp-ians for helping me out. Wolf pack really. Cheers.

Honda has stopped the production of AT variant of City AFAIK. Rest variants are in production. I read about this in some magazine.

At the outset I would like to thank all fellow TEAM BHP members for giving such valuable insight about the pros and cons of Honda City.

I am given to understand that Honda has stopped production of upper range City models - VMT; VMT (AVN); VAT and focussing more on clearing the backlog of Amaze bookings from 4 months to 45 days. As informed by one of Honda Area Managers the current booking backlog of City is over 3000 numbers. There are no VMT models available in majority of the dealers - particularly in Eastern Region and Andhra Pradesh. Looks like Honda will be launching the new City post Diwali/end December this year.

I am looking for Honda VMT (AVN) Alabaster Silver / Carnellian Red Pearl but the closest one is in Ace Motors - Delhi! I am not to confident on inter city registration and have dropped the idea for time being.

Would appreciate if you guys can suggest whether it will be difficult to maintain Carnellian Red Pearl as compared to Alabaster Silver. My car will be parked under covered garage at home only but not in office.

You can upgrade all you want but I recommend not doing anything that messes with the wiring. I'm not a risk taker myself when it comes to an expensive buy and the cars catching fire thread will tell you that wiring issues is the main cause.

Thanks for your concern. The CASKA HU and other Honda accessories are being installed at the Honda dealership itself by their trained / service personnel. I hope that they do a good job.
